Forget Me Not

Chapter 4: Connections

RECAP:

"Please don't leave me" I whispered desperately, in a shaky voice. He ran his hand through my damp hair and used his other hand to caress my cheek.

"I won't." he picked me, and I wrapped my legs around his waist and buried my face into the crook of his neck. He carried me into my bedroom and placed me on to the double bed. He climbed in with me and pulled the covers over our bodies. Then he wrapped his arms around my body  and I snuggled into his sweet embrace. If my mind was stable right now, I'd say that he was too close for comfort yet I relished in the security of his presence. Alexis' words echoed in my head: "If I was you, I would be sharing your bed with him in a heart beat; with his strong muscular arms around my waist as we cuddle together, sharing the warmth of each other's embrace, sleeping the night away". If only she knew the irony of her words. Marcus pulled me closer as my eyes felt heavy and I welcomed the darkness of a dreamless sleep.

Marcus/Trevor's POV:

The next day...

I woke up to the soft snoring originating from the strikingly beautiful woman, who was nestled peacefully in my arms. Our legs were intertwined and I could feel her breasts, that were teasingly pressed against my chest, under her pyjama shirt. I could also feel the gentle rise and fall of her bosom at a steady pace, matching her breathing. I turned slightly to get a better view of her face which held a mutual expression while she was lost in the confines of sleep. She was stunning, even without make up: a rare beauty indeed. She unconsciously snuggled closer to my body and was dangerously pressed against my throbbing loins. I didn't want her to get the wrong impression by waking up to an aroused stranger in her bed, so I untangled our arms and legs and put some distance between us. She immediately whimpered from the loss of warmth and comfort. I could empathise with her because I instantly missed the way her body fit perfectly against mine and sent my body going crazy with desire, which was extremely hard to ignore. I kept my eyes fixed on her sleeping form, as I slowly attempted to get off the bed without disturbing her. The shift in pressure on the bed seemed to wake her up as her eyes fluttered open. So much for not disturbing her.

She mumbled something indecipherable and slowly stretched, letting out an enticing moan which made my body stiffen. Victoria rubbed the sleep from her eyes and made a cute little yawn. She looked up at me with sleepy, questioning eyes.

"Where are you going?" She asked, in a husky voice that set my body on fire. I can't believe she has such an effect on me. 

"Uh...I was just going to the toilet" I replied awkrawdly, whilst scratching my head. Now that I think of it, I really do need to go. 

"Did my clinginess last night and us waking up together freak you out? Because I-" I abruptly leaned forward onto the bed and put my index finger to her lips, interrupting her nervous speech. She felt ashamed and I didn't want her to feel that way. She was scared and vulnerable, so I stayed with her for the remainder of the night to comfort her--There's nothing wrong with that. Her breath hitched at our close proximity.

"No. I'm not freaked out at all. Quite the opposite to be exact. I rather enjoyed waking up in the same bed as you." She looked shocked at my words and her body visible relaxed with relief. I removed my finger from her plump lips and proceeded to walk to the bedroom door, in nothing but my boxers (What? it's not like I own any pyjamas). "In fact, I enjoyed the alteration of the sleeping arrangement a little more than I should have" I said, closing her bedroom door behind me. I didn't stick around to see her reaction to my cheeky comment. I shook my head and made my way to the bathroom.
